Terror Attacks Put Hadassah Medical Organization on Alert

The surge in Palestinian terror attacks in Jerusalem, the West Bank and beyond, poses a direct threat to the security of Israel, which concerns us greatly.  Hadassah’s hospitals have been working around the clock to care for the many victims who have come through their doors.  We greatly appreciate the dedication and care that the doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals have given during this difficult time.  The trauma team led by Surgeon and Head of HMO’s Shock Trauma Unit Avi Rivkind also includes the trauma surgeons he's trained — Prof Alon Pikarsky, Acting Head of Department of Surgery Ein Kerem, and Dr. Miklosh Bana, Director of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery Unit, and other specialists. Following is a synopsis of the tragedies that have occurred since October 1. Our thoughts and prayers are with the patients and their families and hope for an end to this ongoing acts of violence.
